Government TESTS.
The Royal Baking Powder Declared
Euperior TO all others.

The fact that Royal Baking Powder is in all respects
the best baking powder offered to the public has been
established beyond question
Prof. II a. Mott when employed by the U. S. Govern.
anaye the various baking powders of the market
to determine which the best and most economical after
EXTENDED investigation reported in favor of the Royal
and it adopted for government use.
Prof. Mott has continued his examinations of baking
powders sold the present day, and ams it as his
deliberate Judgment arrived at after most thorough research
and a careful examination of the principal brands of the
market that the Royal is undoubtedly the purest and most
reliable baking powder offered to the public. Prof Mott in
his recent report, says:
''Tho Royal Baking Powder is absolutely pure, for
have found in many tests made both for that company
and the U. S. Government.
'I will go still further and state that because of the
facilities that company have for obtaining perfectly pure
Of tartar and for other dependent upon
proper proportions of the same, and the method of its
preparations the Royal Baking Powder is undoubtedly the
purest and most reliable baking powder offered to the
public DIR. HENRY A. MOTT, Pu.D."

The Maryland Bolt.
New York World.1

The mostS extraordinary Independent
movement In politics this year 10 the revolt
of the better class Of Democrats In Mary
land against the state and local tickets of
their party. The reasons for this action are
set forth with great clearness and force in
the address OF the boilers, published In the
World.
This vigorous address was adopted at q
mass meeting in Baltimore on Friday night,
the most notable political assemblage, 1t is
said, In point of character and earnestuess
that has been held In that city In many years.
Gen. Stewart Brown, the commander OF the
state troops, was president, and among the
principal speakers were Col. Charles Mar
shall, nephew OF the great Chief Justice,
and Gen. Lees chief OF staff at the end Of
the war, and s. T. Wallis, the leader of the
Baltimore bar and q most accomplished
orator. Scores Of prominent Democrats,
many Of them OF the best families and
prominent In the confederate army, were on
the platform, and Joined In the declaration
of purpose to vote the Republican ticket
at the approaching election.
The revolt is occasioned by the ascen-
dancy Of Gormanism and nigginism In fed
eral affairs, and by the Rugs, ruffianism,
ard rascality OF the local government of
Baltimore. The federal Offices, accord
ing to the address, are given over to
| spoilsmen, and the state and city Offices to
ballot box suffers, thugs, and murderers.
That there should be q refusal on the part
OF honest Democrats to sustain such a com
bination is not remarkable, but Is It not ex
traordipary that In the only state where thia
issue is sharply drawn in the elections of the
present year-a state, too, that Is almost
within sight of the white bouse--a President
who was elected as q reformer, and who
still talks reform, should be on the side OF
the rings, the thieves, and the criminals
This "entaDglipg alliance" Is causing u
great deal Of uneasiness, not to say O
stronger feeling, among the reformer5 IL
other states than Maryland. 1t cannot bc
| broken too soon for the Presidents good.

When win the New Eight Room School
Houses He Complete?


EDITOR NATIONAL REPUBLICAN: The
commissioners contracted to have the new
eight-room school houses completed bv
Sept 10, 1887, and had the contractor used
reasonable dispatch they could easily have
been finished by that time. The unueces-
sary delay OF work upon these buildings is
well known TO school officials, but they are
powerless to do anything In the matter.
Hundreds OF children are forced into
Easements and to doubleup on account OF
the shameful delay of this favored con
tractor.
The contract provides that In case OF
failure on the part OF the contractor to
complete the building by Sept 10, 1887, he
shall forfeit $50 per day until they are CON.
pleted. This limitation as TO time was an
important element IN the bidding, but II ap-
pears the favored contractor understood
bis business He has scarcely given any
attention to the time clause, aud has had
1t extended one month from Sept. 10, 1887.
An inspection OF the buildings recently
revealed the fact that at least two, the one
near the Sumner and the one for tue col.
ored childr on Capitol Hlllswill not be
finished before January, 1888; and further,
that there are only one or two workmen
employed.
L would like to know II the contractor
VIII be made to pay damages, as required
by the terms Of the contract, or will the
inspector of buildings further extend the
time and Illegally free the contractor from
his just obligations
IL is great shame that these school
houses are not completed, as they could
easily have been and would have been but
for the knowledge on the part Of the cOu,
tractor that he would not be subjected u
loss for non compliance with the terms #
his contract. PARENT.

Pueblo Lands of Monterey, Gal.

Acting Secretary Muldrow has decided,
In the case of the pueblo lands of Monte
rey, Cal, that neither the military reserva-
tion nor the custom house lot passed to the
city of Monterey under the grant Of 1880,
and that the decree Of the board OF land
commissioners did not extend the grant or
confirm title to either the reservation or
custom house, though both are within the
exterior boundaries OF the grant rs de-
scribed in the proceedings Of the territorial
deputation and the decree Of the board.
The action OF the surveyor general
and the commissioner OF the general
land office, which included said tracts
In the grant, is revrsed, and a new
survey ordered excluding them. The south
ern boundary Of the city lands as fixed by
the surveyor general and the commissioner
of the general land office is also changed,
and the same is fixed on top and along the
ridge of the San Carlos mountains, which
ridge must be reached, at its nearest point
from the Laguna Seca In the main road to
the Preside, by a straight line. aud then fol-
lowing the meanders OF the mountain ridge

FRAUDS IN BALTIMORE.
The German Machine Ring IN Most
Deaperate StraIts.

bthpeEhte Strhttss
The following special to the Philadelphia
Times from Baltimore shows to what des-
perate straits the bosses OF the Gormau
ring have been driven to capture the com
Ing elections
There are $4,000 colored voters in Balti-
more city. The Citizens Reform League
to-day discovered that their names are be-
ing stricken bv the score from the registra
tion books. The German machine regis
tration officers are doing this under instruc'
tons from the city bosses. The Reform
League ia in possession OF reliable informs
tion that IL is the intention Of the bosses TO
cut off 5000 colored men from voting this
fall. To-day was the first OF the three extra
days for registration. After Wednesday
the offices are permanently closed and the
new lists finally made up, The ring has
two more days in which to do its work.
Their game, however, has been blocked,
partly, by the Reform League becoming APP
prised OF their Intention aud to day appoint
Ing three lawyers at each Of the twenty
registration offices, With instructions to de.
fepu all cases coming under their observa-
tion.
A bomb was thrown into the 'ring" camp
by the published card Of the Citizens Re-
form League, warning voters that the
lesgue had definite information Of an
organized effort OF the ''ringh to strike or
5000 names OF legal voters from the regis
tration lists. The league declares that the
conspiracy was hatched at Barnum's Hotel,
the "rlng" Democratic headquarters, and
that the names of the leaders in 1t are
known. The league ascertaiued also the
methods by which this wholesale disfrau.
chisement OF voters were to be made and
they are thus explained: A man Will come
to registrar during the time OF the sitting
with list of flftv or hundred or even
more names Of legal voters and make oath
that they do not reside In the city or are
otherwise disqualified, whereupon the reg
istrar, without making any inquiry or ask
Ing any questions to test the correctness o
the tatements, will draw his pen through
the whole list OF names, aud wheI
the owners of these names come to vott
at the approaching election they ar,
o find themselves dlsfraDchised. A still
further number Of legal voters will be dis
| franchised by h viug their names omitted
or mispelled In the course Of transcribinl
them from the registration book to thu
poll books, which latter are used at the
election.
| With this object in view several OF tn,
registrars have persisteutly endeavored tC
| withhold their books from public examina
tion. The Reform League has detectives
at work on the rings game, aud some o
the workers will be hauled up for perjury
| II they try to strike names of the list
This move shows the desperation OF the
German r1achine.
| The work OF the league In prosec utin.
cases Of illegal registration, and having
through the courts hundreds Of fraudulen
names stricken of, has led the bosses t,
resort to all kinds Of fraud.
